International Journal of Data Science Committee

The Data Science Association International Journal of Data Science (IJDS) Committee is seeking members to join us in selecting and editing papers to be published in the IJDS. The IJDS publishes both academic research and practitioner papers (descriptive or predictive, and/or prescriptive), innovative ideas, case studies, surveys/reports and book reviews. Special Issues devoted to important topics will be published.

With the Age of Big Data upon us, we risk drowning in a flood of digital data. Big data spans five dimensions (volume, variety, velocity, volatility and veracity), generally steered towards one critical destination - value. Big data has now become a critical part of the business world and daily life. Containing big information and big knowledge, big data does indeed have big value. IJDS confronts the challenges of extracting a fountain of knowledge from "mountains" of big data.

Topics covered include:

Big data cloud, mining and management

Big data storage, processing, sharing and visualisation

Big data systems, tools, theory and applications

Business analytics, intelligence and mathematics

Computer science, hacking skills

Informatics and information systems and technology

Machine learning, web-based decision making

Management science, social sciences and statistics

Mathematical optimisation and mathematics of decision sciences

Multiple source data processing and integration

Network and social-graph analysis

Optimisation, performance measurement

Security and privacy

System analysis and theory

Volume, velocity and variety of big data on cloud

Objectives

IJDS employs an interdisciplinary approach and bridges the gap between different disciplines, including computer science, OR/MS, statistics, data mining, DSS, graphic design and human-computer interaction. The process of knowledge creation therefore can include multiple components and perspectives. By adopting such a diverse set of tools/techniques while employing the synergies involved, companies and organisations can make faster (real-time), frequent and fact-based decisions.

IJDS therefore aims to provide a professional forum for examining the processes and results associated with obtaining data, as well as munging, scrubbing, exploring, modelling, interpreting, communicating and visualising data. Data science takes data in cyberspace as a research object. The goal is an integrated and interconnected process designed to form a common ground from which a knowledge-based system can be built, shared and supported by professionals from different disciplines.
